The latest review of the art exhibition at the Museum of the City of New York
came from Bill Bratton, the city’s police commissioner. He was not thrilled.

On display are works by graffiti artists such as Keith Haring, Lee Quinones
and Futura 2000. Curators called them “seminal figures in an artistic
movement that spawned a worldwide phenomenon, altering music, fashion and
popular visual culture”.

However, Mr Bratton said: “I find it outrageous that one of the city’s museums
is celebrating graffiti and what a great impact it had on the city.”
